Thanks for the comment and great questions.
...Hi! Thanks for the comment and great questions.<br /><br />I only just learned about nettle seeds this year after reading what has now become one of my fav herbal blogs. <br /><br /><a href="http://bearmedicineherbals.com/?p=688" rel="nofollow">Here is a recent post</a> the blog author put up not too long ago, all about nettle seeds.<br /><br />There is also a great discussion of nettle seeds <a href="http://herbwifery.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=194&highlight=nettle+seeds" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />I have been harvesting the seeds for some time now and using them in their dried form and taking about half a teaspoon a day, when I remember. <br /><br />I also tinctured some for a friend, which should be about ready now.<br /><br />The seeds are not unpleasant to eat and I tested the tincture the other day and it has quite an earthy taste underneath the alcohol.<br /><br />I find my energy levels are consistently good when I take the seed and even if I've had too little sleep the day before I can make it through the day very alert and on the ball.<br /><br />I've only been using them for about two months, so it's kinda hard to say exactly how they might be effecting me or not, but I certainly don't feel any negative side effects and I suspect I am deriving some benefit from using them. <br /><br />I love nettle in general, eating it, drinking the tea, using it for a hair rinse... I'm happy to have found a use for the seeds as well. Most people cringe when they come across nettle growing. It makes me happy! <br /><br />If you give the seeds a try, I'd be interested to know what you think of them.<br /><br />As for a search function, because I use blogger, there should be a 'search blog' spot at the top of the page, on the blogger tool bar.<br /><br />Let me know if you don't have that option and I'll see what I can do.<br /><br />Take care,<br />AmberAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504083012497351241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094253214225998105.post-74312438576914655582009-09-02T09:40:06.543-04:002009-09-02T09:40:06.543-04:00One more thing,

I'm a big nettle leaf fan, but have never heard of using the seeds before. I found some info on the net. Sounds interesting. This is the only site I follow regularly, so it feels more like asking a real person :) <br />Have you used the seeds before? What are they like for you? Have you used them for long periods of time? Very Curious. <br /><br />Thanks!
